Post-show, a police car was parked directly in front of the Civic Center and somebody artfully poured chartreuse colored day-glo paint over the blue stobe
...
light on the roof. The paint was seeping down onto the white roof and the reflections of the streetlights off the bleeding colors was inspirational, so a group of anywhere from 10-15 people (it has been 30 years and you know how we tend to exaggarate in our old age)gathered around the car and somebody had a camera and took the picture. If you can share anything about this event I would love to know if you can track down that picture!! For this reason it gets five stars! Audience participation.

The show in May of 80 is where Jerry sings of a raven loose on Charm City.

I really like this show. At first, upon listening to the first few songs of the first set I thought the sound was soft or too low. The second set is different
...
it seems...perhaps some half time adjustments by the taper...anyway the second set really rocks! I almost feel like it's a SBD during Scarlet>Fire.
I took the 'Dancin' from the first set and the entire second set and recommend this whole heartedly; you will not be disappointed in this set two gem- seriously. The Scarlet>fire is a total rompfest. It oozes with juicey Jerry licks and PHIL is ALL OVER THE PLACE. GREAT mix here and nice second set.
If it were a SBD I would give this a 5 for the bands performance and sound. In this case of the aud, however, I can't give more than 4 stars-although there are some 5 star auds. in the archive. Mainly the Hampton '89 shows.

The third consecutive show of Brent's first run features a monster "Sugaree" and a fabulous "Scarlet>Fire" (they got out the kinks in his first show).
...
Then just hold on for the heat with "Samson" cooking, "He's Gone" on a slow burn and "Other One" burning the joint down! I can't let strange reviews bring down the rating of a truly magical show. Get this one and be awe inspired.

This show deserves 4**** if for no other reason that The Other One. There is this moment during the long, spacey section between verses where Phil just

Lets Loose to corale everyone back into the song. Yikes.

1st Set: Sound problems, both on 5/5/79 & on this tape recording dull the effects of an otherwise pleasing "Jack." "Sugaree" is worthy and powerful.
...
Bobby's voice is meek, but Jerry is almost over-active on a decent "El Paso." "FOTD" is decent, Jerry's kinda the only musician to be speaking as others are oddly hesitant. "All Over Now" is breezy but too much 'daytime' without an alienating 'Taxi Driver' vibe to align it with to make the version truly haunting & eerie.
Hmmm... this is so weird. I ended yesterday's listening session as we were entering into a lumbering "Tennessee..." Today, the only stream available contains 4 songs, the last of which is currently playing..., "Dancin." It's kinda wishes for an upsurge in their ability to muster sufficient energies.
OOPSY, there are two bases from which one can listen to this show. Unfortunately, the one that contains the whole show lacks the contours audibly evident in the other recording... Seemingly, is it as simple as one comes from a CD-Master Recording and the other are from the tapes? Please write back and educate me.. :)
2nd Set: Undeniably, the right foot is placed forward by selecting to open the set with a friendly "Scarlet." Some nice musicianship between the stringed instruments, but nothing monumental. There's some odd sound distortions around the 10:00 minute mark; I'm not sure if they're from my computer acting up, or if the cassette as played is feeling the worn effects of time. There's lots of activity in "Fire," and it's all listenable, but it's not effortless which diminishes the primitive mood the song denotes. (This is assuming that acting or being 'primitive' is simplistic and/or natural to one that is primitive.) Anyways, matters nicely climax at 11:00-11:25. Nice marching band clap-along into a Shabbat "Samson." It's decent, but just some awkward timing moments that can't be thrown off as 'breaking in the new guy.' "He's Gone" is quite lovely, a total rest your head back and chill to some pleasantries...mellowly climbing higher and higher as the outro progresses into "Drums." They progress as expected, tho "Space" is shorter than usual. Jerry is clearly directing traffic as we strum our way into a stomping "OO." What's to be noted throughout the remainder of the set, "Wharf" & "Sugar," is how convincing it would be for a novice listener to discern that the past three songs came from the same show... (even if played admidst 10 other versions of each song.) There's this consistent, pleasing flow as one song drifts to the next. Though the ship may not be inspiring, we're always confident there's a captain aboard. That being said, each version is better than decent, and fun...The 'SD' stands out for its sounds similiar to how Neil Young would have covered the tune with Crazy Horse in the late 70s.
Our encore is of the time-tested "Saturday" variety that stays true to the beat of the show.
